Words to live by.

 

The sun – Eric Carle’s most immortalized art.

About Jennie

I have been teaching preschool for over thirty-five years. This is my passion. I believe that children have a voice, and that is the catalyst to enhance or even change the learning experience. Emergent curriculum opens young minds. It's the little things that happen in the classroom that are most important and exciting. That's what I write about. I was a live guest on the Kelly Clarkson Show. I am highlighted in the seventh edition of Jim Trelease's million-copy bestselling book, "The Read-Aloud Handbook" because of my reading to children. My class has designed quilts that hang as permanent displays at the National Liberty Museum in Philadelphia, the Fisher House at the Boston VA Hospital, and the Massachusetts State House in Boston.

    There is no greater artist than nature its self. Complex in its simplicity.

    I like his advice to slow down. I have been doing that for the past nine years now.
    Best wishes, Pete.

    Eric Carle’s got a lot of great quotes, but that’s one of the best.

    But he was STILL hungry. That has been our family’s theme for years. I can’t believe that my grandchildren are just as frequently ravenous as my girls were.
